Included in the Covering Letter applicants must provide a ‘Response to Selection Criteria’ (see sample

We do not expect that you cut and paste from your Resume, but rather explain concisely and succinctly
how you have met these competences, possibly providing brief examples etc.
The Ministry is seeking to make an appointment as soon as possible after the advertised closing date.
Due to the volume of applications that the Ministry receives and the need to minimize costs, it is our
practice to communicate further about this vacancy only with those who are short-listed and invited to
attend an interview. If you do not hear from us within two months of the advertised closing date, you
may assume that your application has not been successful.
